Book Cover Something Happened in our Town Marianne Celano Marietta Collins

An honest conversation about racial injustice, this book gives parents a tool to broach an important and sensitive topic in a way that any one can understand.

Something Happened in Our Town follows two families — one White, one Black — as they discuss a police shooting of a Black man in their community. The story aims to answer children’s questions about such traumatic events, and to help children identify and counter racial injustice in their own lives.
